The paper considers the present state of forests of Podolsk region within specially protected areas. Unfortunately, within the studied reserve the strict requirements of preservation and protection of broadleaf forests of the studied territory are not always fulfilled. The authors of the paper describe in sufficient detail the existing problems of the reserve. Measures for further monitoring of the geosystem are proposed.

Formation of hydromorphic floodplain soils of the valley of the Nizhny Don occurs mainly under the influence of anthropogenic erosion and due to lowering the water content of the floodplains below the dams as the result of the construction of the Tsimlyansk reservoir. Road transport and overgrazing contribute to the degradation of natural meadow vegetation until its complete destruction. As a result, the properties of soils, as well as the content and composition of humus, significantly change, the water-physical properties of soils deteriorate and the processes of secondary salinization develop with the nearby proximity of mineralized groundwater.
